St. John’s Military School vs St. Edward’s School
Although St. John’s Military School and St. Edward’s Catholic School are both private schools and have sports, at St. John’s we wore ACUs and were split up into companies. While St. Edward’s (St. Ed’s) we wore a nice polo with a nice pair of dress pants and every grade was split in half, and then separated. At St. John’s they have a very weird “welcoming” program, but St. Ed’s you just follow the person that is in your class. St. John’s made me fell out of place and lost, just like most cadets here.

Just like normal kids they would have a hard time adjusting to that because it was crazy and you rarely had any time for yourself. Compared to St. john’s where the teachers don’t give you a mountain load of homework that is due tomorrow and test that is two to three days
